To hydrate a dog quickly, offer small, frequent amounts of water instead of a large bowl at once to prevent vomiting. Consider ice cubes as an alternative as they encourage slow hydration and are fun for your dog. Another option is to offer low-sodium chicken broth diluted with water. Always ensure your dog is drinking clean, fresh water and consult a vet if dehydration symptoms persist.
